TWRREIT (5111): Annualized Results

http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/tower-reit-appoints-eusoffe-chua-its-ceo

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 5): Tower Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) has appointed Chua Song Yong @ Eusoffe Chua as its chief executive officer effective today.

The CEO post was left vacant for more than a year. Chua is replacing Teo Juhn How, who resigned on June 8, 2016 to pursue other professional interests.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Tower REIT said Chua, 39, was previously TA Global’s head of group sales and marketing and head of group leasing and property management.

This is a positive development for TWRREIT. Imagine sailing without a 'captain' for over a year!
Autopilot may be fine during good times, but we're in shaky territories these days, and a ship needs a steady pair of hands!

Remember, TWRREIT currently only has 2 commercial office properties, and practically ZERO borrowings. Lots of room for growth and improvements! The question is, where will the next asset injection come from? (TAGB or Hong Leong Group)

Hope the management would look into disposing the properties and buy better buildings

2018-02-08 11:26

Tower reit should just disposed off both the buildings and distribute the proceed. The reit is not doing anything as a business and it is a waste of management time and monies having it listed.

2018-02-12 14:23

Yes, should realise its NAV which is in the best interest of REITholders

Can anyone tell me what is the net intrinsic value of Twrreit? It's not the same as the net asset value, is it? Thanks.

Net intrinsic value does not equate to net asset value. Intrinsic value depends on how much returns can you get from your net assets over a period of years + net assets.

Anyone know why can TWREIT distribute 88.5% of net income? I thought it is by the rule that a REIT must distribute 90% and above?

2018-08-18 07:23

This is an interim dividend, only the 2nd quarter. TWRREIT needs to make sure that it fulfills the 90% requirement for the full year, or else be liable to 24% corporate tax.

QR getting worse and worse. Will Twr Reit drop to 50-60 sen?

2018-11-17 06:44

Anything's can happen. why not hong leong privatised it

2018-12-20 12:49

Loss QR why no drop?

2019-02-13 05:58

Loss QR is because of deferred tax due to RPGT disposal >5 years tax rate changed. If the REIT does not intend to dispose, then this should be a non-issue. On the flip side, the figure you should be focusing should be the revenue which has actually gone up.

You should be asking... Revenue up why no up?

REIT without dividend??? How to invest? It is better to sell the property urgently and distribute cash back

if the office buildings is distribute by specie, 735,000÷280,500, then you would get 2.6 sq ft per 1000 shares

2019-08-06 17:43

kahhoeng

err... meaning 300,000 shares would be entitled to 780 square feet of space at a cost of less than RM 270,000. Would be great if those spaces are distributed then, haha... an apartment for RM 270,000 at prime area.

The innovation centre is expected to occupy 250,000 sq ft or about 65% of the total 385,215 sq ft net lettable area in Menara HLA.

Chua is optimistic that 250,000 sq ft of space to be offered by the innovation centre will be fully occupied by tenants after renovation works are completed by end-2020.

Currently, about 100,000 sq ft have been taken up by six tenants including local training academy KCOM Group and a co-working space operator.

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/guocoland-sell-menara-guoco-tower-reit-rm242m

KUALA LUMPUR (March 2): GuocoLand (Malaysia) Bhd is selling Menara Guoco in Damansara Heights here to Tower Real Estate Investment Trust (Tower REIT) for RM242.1 million cash, in a related party transaction (RPT).

Menara Guoco is a 19-storey office building which forms part of an integrated commercial development known as Damansara City, comprising another office building, a hotel, a retail mall, serviced apartments and car parks.

As at Feb 6, 2020, the building has an occupancy rate of about 97.1% and is expected to increase Tower REIT's pro forma occupancy rate for its portfolio to 59.8% from 48.1%.

Upon completion of the proposed acquisition, Tower REIT's consolidated asset base is expected to increase about 42.3% to RM814.3 million and the average building age of its property portfolio is expected to decrease to 18 years from 23.

The proposed disposal is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2020.

===

The rental market for commercial office space has been facing a glut for years now. Yield on this property is under 5% p.a.with 97.1% occupancy and they're estimating 100% loan @4.3% p.a.

I don't expect DPU to improve too much in the short-term, but it will probably help to stabilize the dividend as the other two office buildings currently have less than 50% occupancy! If you look at their last quarterly result, yields have possibly fallen below 2.5%! Menara HLA is still under renovation!

Who else wins?
1. Guocoland, as they cash-out a relatively low yield asset and lower their borrowings.
2. Hong Leong Bank, as they will probably issue the RM242m loan themselves @4.3% p.a.
3. GLM REIT Management, the REIT management company, since their earnings depend on the NAV of the properties.

2020-03-03 01:18

what is the exact property yield for this acquisition?

2020-03-04 17:23

Just disclosed under 5% with 97% occupancy did not give any confort to minority shareholders

Thanks for the summary and analysis @investfuture and @reitpulse. At this point, it feels like it will take a massive economic growth in Malaysia in order to for demand in office space to cover the supply. In that sense, I am not so optimistic about tower reit's immediate prospects. Maybe within another 10 years before the reit shows any improvement in its occupancy rates. Just my 2 cents.
